Venezuela braces for crunch anti-Maduro protests

^{Published on 2025-01-09 02:40:37 - MSN}

Opponents of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro will take to the streets Thursday, in a last-ditch bid to prevent him from being sworn in for a highly controversial third term as president. Ruling party loyalists have also taken to the streets in a blunt warning to their opponents.

The article discusses the increasing political tension in Venezuela as President Nicolás Maduro prepares for his swearing-in ceremony on January 10, 2024, for another term. Critics and opposition figures are decrying what they describe as a government crackdown on dissent. This includes the arrest of opposition leaders, activists, and journalists, as well as reports of intimidation and harassment. The government's actions are seen as an attempt to stifle opposition and secure Maduro's position amidst ongoing economic crises and international scrutiny. The opposition has called for international intervention and sanctions, arguing that these measures are necessary to restore democracy. Meanwhile, Maduro's administration defends its actions as necessary to maintain national stability and accuses the opposition of conspiring with foreign powers to destabilize the country.
